The Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA) is still without access to Butorphanol, a narcotic pain medication often used during labor to alleviate pain. Formerly known as Stadol, the medication is also used as a part of the anesthesia for surgery and cardiac procedures. GMHA has a supply of 2nd-line medications to use while it awaits back-ordered shipments of Butorphanol to arrive.
